Exempel på legume

• Key examples are systems combining no-till seeding, crop-rotations including legumes, plus maintenance of continuous crop-residue cover to the soil.

• But this did not change the relative profitability of the treatments: sole maize fertilized and unfertilized remained more profitable than the respective legume intercrops.

• Very large increases (well over 100 %) in the price of legumes would be required to make legume-maize intercrops more profitable than sole maize.

• For mixed grass+legume silages, the case was more complex, since the value of the silage is not independent of its composition.

• Output taxes consisted of the tithes (osur) applying primarily to grains, legumes, and fibers.

• The intercropped legumes grew moderately well most years.

• Plant husbandry and management techniques for growing grain legumes under simulated tropical conditions in controlled environments.

• Absent from private sector research, not surprisingly, are many crops cultivated by the world's poor, including small-grain cereals, tubers and legumes.

• This paper reports the results of on-farm testing of grass+legume pastures assessed in terms of milk production in dual-purpose systems.

• However, other experiments have indicated the beneficial effects of perennial legumes and no-till agriculture on soil nitrogen.

• The present study pointed to the critical role of legumes, especially perennial alfalfa, for increasing the energy efficiency of a cropping system.

• It is concluded that grass+legume mixtures increased milk yields on farms.

• Legume-based cropping systems have reduced carbon and nitrogen losses.

• With the exception of phosphorus, treatment effects on legume growth were marginal.

• Each farmer experimenter rated the performance of the legume fallows against the control with indicators which they developed in the second year of experimentation.
